Re: help with ls

Don't use ls in this case. Second, using "*.conf" in grep doesn't work 
the way you want it.

Try this:

find / -type f \( -name "*.conf" -o -name "*.cfg" \) -print

or, if you want to have an ls -ls listing for each file, do:

find / -type f \( -name "*.conf" -o -name "*.cfg" \) -exec ls -ls {} \;

I suggest getting very familiar with the "find" command. It's syntax is 
difficult but it is an extremely powerful tool and it can do almost 
anything short of frying an egg ;)
